Rules Of The Game

The paper deals with planning norms in action, assuming that planning regulation is one among many kinds of regulation with which planners must contend. Norms operate and co-evolve within a normative ecology where institutions collaborate and compete through overlapping and often incommensurate normative frameworks and rules of the game. The importance of socio-materiality in how different regulations work in practice is emphasized. To develop the normative ecology argument, a case study is presented on the effects of Airbnb tourism on the historic center of Napoli in southern Italy.

Historic centers have become first-line tourist destinations. In order to achieve sustainable development, it is essential to get to know the opinions of the host community on the impact of tourism, the positives, as well as the negatives. This paper aims to understand the residents’ opinions and perceptions of destinations as the historic cities. This research looks into the residents’ opinions on the impact of tourism in the historic city of Toledo, Spain. The results of a quantitative survey among 442 residents in the city of Toledo are presented. The study is a revision of the literature and analysis and explanation of an empiric study’s results. Descriptive statistics have been used, as well as factor analysis and non-parametric tests to analyze data. The main results point out that residents have a positive vision of tourism development, rather than negative. The economic importance of tourism and its ability to create jobs stand out. However, they also think that the historic center is being turned into a museum for tourists. Analyzing their opinions according to certain demographic and socioeconomic characteristics, some major differences come up, such as that the inhabitants of residential areas have a more positive opinion than those who live in the historic center. Understanding the perspective of the residents can help the managers and planners of the tourism in the city to play down the potential negative impact of tourism and to achieve support from the host community in regards to tourism.

The paper proposes a reading of the possible urban development of the historic centre of San Valentino in Abruzzo Citerore starting from the analysis of its architectural heritage. The image of a fortified hamlet surrounded by walls, represented in a painting dating back to the mid-nineteenth century, appears in cartographic reliefs and representations accessible at the local and extra regional archives. The reading of the current architectural set of givens, which are characterized by the continuous use of building techniques related to the processing of local limestones, seeks through comparison with the historic iconography to identify persistences and alterations of the urban fabric, tracing a possible developmental line of San Valentino in Abruzzo Citeriore from medieval castrum to Farnesiano fief up to the substantial interventions of modernization and revision of the historic center operated in the last century. The requests of functional and formal changes occurring at the turn of the nineteenth and twenteeth century implicates the dismantling of the walls, the typological change of the original building and of the urban layout and the loss of the urban imagine resulting consolidated in the collective memory. An awaking context of the main features of the historic and building development of this fortified reality in the Middle Adriatic area is today an indispensable step in this path of consciousness and awareness of the society regarding the urgent problem connected to the neglect and to the conservation of the historic centres.

ResumenEl objeto de este texto es la exposición y análisis de los procedimientos de intervención pública en el paisaje urbano de la ciudad de Madrid. El objetivo último de ese análisis es identificar el modelo público para el paisaje urbano en Madrid.  Este texto se centra en la exposición analítica de documentos oficiales antes que en sus conclusiones definitivas, por lo que le corresponde la denominación de Informe.  Este informe se organiza en dos partes: una exposición teórica que enmarca el posterior análisis de instrumentos administrativos de intervención en el paisaje.  Se concibe como parte de la investigación de Tesis Doctoral titulada “Transformación Reciente del Paisaje Comercial en el Centro Histórico”, acotada en un marco temporal de apenas diez años, marcado por la crisis y la desregulación económica, y en un marco territorial limitado al centro histórico de Madrid. Esa investigación se enmarca en una reflexión general sobre la relación entre actividad económica y paisaje urbano. El interés de este informe para la investigación es sobre la utilidad de ese modelo público para el paisaje urbano en Madrid como parámetro para valorar la rentabilidad de los esfuerzos públicos y privados en la mejora de la calidad del paisaje urbano.AbstractThe purpose of this text is the exhibition and analysis of public intervention procedures in the urban landscape of the city of Madrid. The ultimate goal of this analysis is to identify the public model for the urban landscape in Madrid. This text focuses on the analytical exposition of official documents rather than on their final conclusions, for which reason the denomination of Report corresponds. This report is organized in two parts: a theoretical exposition that frames the subsequent analysis of administrative instruments of intervention in the landscape. It is conceived as part of the Doctoral Thesis research titled "Recent Transformation of the Commercial Landscape in the Historic Center", bounded within a period of just ten years, marked by the crisis and economic deregulation, and in a territorial framework limited to the historic center of Madrid. This research is part of a general reflexion on the relationship between economic activity and urban landscape. The interest of this report for the investigation is about the utility of that public model for the urban landscape in Madrid as a parameter to assess the profitability of public and private efforts in improving the quality of the urban landscape.

Concentration Space

<p>Compreende-se a centralidade intraurbana como especializações funcionais de algumas frações espaciais da cidade que se singularizam a partir da concentração e geração de fluxos permanentes de pessoas e mercadorias. Nessa direção, a centralidade dos serviços de saúde de Teresina tem seu marco inicial com a instalação do Hospital Getúlio Vargas (1941) no centro histórico da cidade. Desde então, diversos hospitais, clínicas, laboratórios e atividades correlatas aí se instalaram, o que lhes configura como o espaço de maior concentração destes na cidade. Mas, a partir dos anos 2000 inicia-se um processo de descentralização dos serviços de saúde para outros espaços citadinos, notadamente para os bairros mais centrais da zona Leste. Nesse sentido, objetiva-se analisar a produção espacial da centralidade dos serviços de saúde na zona Leste de Teresina, pautado em depoimentos de profissionais e empreendedores dos bairros Fátima, Jóquei e São Cristóvão que lidam com os referidos serviços. Argumenta-se que a constituição dessa nova centralidade dos serviços de saúde de Teresina baseia-se na busca do segmento de renda alta da cidade, o qual exige serviços exclusivos e próximos aos seus locais de moradia ou de mais fácil acessibilidade quando comparados aos encontrados no centro principal.</p><p><strong>Palavras-chaves</strong>: Centralidade.

In this direction, the centrality of the health services of Teresina has its beginning with the installation of Getúlio Vargas Hospital (1941) in the historic center of the city. Since then, several hospitals, laboratories and related activities have been installed, which is configured as their greatest concentration space of this city. But, from 2000, a process of decentralization of health services has begun to other city places, mainly to the more central districts of the East region. This way, it is aimed to analyze the space production of the centrality of the health services in the least region of Teresina, based on the testimony of the professionals and entrepreneurs of the districts of Fátima, Jóquei and São Cristóvão that deal with such services. It argues that the constitution of this new centrality of health services in Teresina is based on the search for the high income population of the city, which demands exclusive services and near their living places or of easier accessibility when compared to the ones found in the main downtown. </p><p><strong>Keywords</strong>: Centrality.
